VOTE Scot “Skippy” Trahan for Mamou Council

06/11/2026

You don’t have to be born somewhere to love it, fight for it, and help make it better. Mamou is my home, and its future matters to me.
This November, vote for someone committed to making all of Mamou a better place to live, work, and raise a family. Vote for someone focused on attracting businesses, creating jobs, improving public safety, and building a stronger future for residents and visitors alike.
A strong future starts with honoring our history while embracing progress. We can preserve the character and heritage that make Mamou special while pursuing the growth and opportunities our community deserves.
District 3 is central to that vision. Our downtown businesses drive economic growth and deserve strong support, while residents throughout the district deserve to be heard, represented, and respected. Good leadership serves the entire community—not just one area, issue, or group.
Mamou’s future depends on working together. By supporting local businesses, investing in infrastructure, improving public safety, and listening to our citizens, we can build a community future generations will be proud to call home.
I am ready to be a voice for every resident of District 3. I will work hard, listen carefully, and always put our community first.
I would be honored to earn your vote and the opportunity to serve as your Councilman.
Vote Scot “Skippy” Trahan
District 3 City Councilman
Your Voice. Your City. Your Councilman.

When you step inside that voting booth in November, the only person standing there is YOU.

That moment is where you have to ask yourself some important questions:

• What has been done to improve ALL of District 3?
• What projects or ideas have even been brought before the council to benefit our district?
• Is every part of District 3 treated equally, or has one area received more focus than others?
• Has the current leadership worked toward real solutions for jobs, safety, infrastructure, and the betterment of Mamou?
• Has enough been done to attract businesses and opportunities to our town?

You have the right to vote for change, improvement, accountability, and a better future for Mamou.

Or you can vote simply because someone was born here or because you personally know them. But ask yourself honestly… does that automatically make them the best person for the job?

Those are the questions each of us must answer when we walk into that voting booth.

I’m asking for your support in this race for District 3 Councilman so I can help fight for:
• Betterment of our town
• Increased safety
• Infrastructure improvements
• More businesses and job opportunities for Mamou

Together, we can work toward a stronger future for our community.

Vote
Scot “Skippy” Trahan
District 3 Councilman

Good Day everyone please feel free to share!

For those of you who may not know me, my name is Scot “Skippy” Trahan, and I am running for District 3 City Councilman for the Town of Mamou.

I come from a beautiful little town in Louisiana called Iota, where my family has been rooted since the 1800s. I graduated from Iota High School and later attended McNeese State University.

Over the years, life has taken me on an incredible journey. I’ve worked as a band, flag corps, and winter guard instructor. I served as a police officer. I worked on river cruise lines traveling across America as a cruise director. I later moved to Kemah, Texas, where I worked on yachts as a cruise director and wedding coordinator while helping manage a five-star restaurant.

Eventually, I joined Royal Caribbean as an activities manager and cruise director, traveling the world and meeting people from every background imaginable. I later moved to Austin, Texas, where I trained and became certified as a medical massage practitioner and opened my own practice. I also worked as a master trainer and manager for an international technical and health company.

But no matter where life took me, Louisiana was always home.

In 2022, I made the decision to come back because I missed my family, my roots, and the sense of community that only small towns can give you.

On June 26, 2022, I slept in my home in Mamou for the very first time. And from that day forward, my love for this town has grown stronger every single day.

I fell in love with the history of Mamou. I fell in love with the culture, the people, the traditions, and the stories that make this town unique. I believe our history matters. I believe the sacrifices and hard work of the generations before us deserve to be honored and protected.

But I also believe something else.

I believe protecting our history does not mean standing still.

A town can respect its past while still fighting for a better future.

From the moment I arrived here, I saw the incredible potential Mamou has. I saw hardworking people. I saw proud families. I saw culture and history that most towns would dream of having.

But I also saw opportunities being missed.

I heard from people who felt unheard. I met people who felt frustrated with leadership. I listened to concerns about infrastructure, safety, progress, beautification, drainage, accountability, and the direction our town is heading.

And I realized something very important:

The people of Mamou deserve representation that listens, works, communicates, and fights for them.

I’m not running for office because I want a title.

I’m running because I genuinely believe Mamou can do better.

We deserve leadership that is willing to ask hard questions. Leadership that is willing to put every issue on the table and work together to find solutions. Leadership that understands that progress and preserving our heritage can go hand in hand.

I want safer streets.
I want improved infrastructure.
I want better communication between elected officials and the public.
I want more pride put back into our town.
And I want people to feel hopeful about Mamou’s future again.

This election should not be about who has lived here the longest.
It should not be about family names.
And it should not be about voting for someone simply because “that’s who we’ve always voted for.”

This election should be about one thing:

Who is willing to fight for the people of Mamou?

Who is willing to listen?
Who is willing to work?
Who is willing to push for progress while respecting our traditions and heritage?

I promise you this:
If elected, I will never stop listening to the people.
I will never stop asking questions.
And I will never stop fighting for what is best for our town.

Mamou deserves leadership that is active, engaged, transparent, and committed to progress.

On November 3, you have a choice.

If you are ready for change…
If you are ready for progress…
If you are ready for your voice to truly matter…

Then I humbly ask for your vote.

Please elect Scot “Skippy” Trahan for District 3 City Councilman for the Town of Mamou.

Because this is your voice.
Your town.
And I hope to become your councilman.

Thank you, and God bless Mamou.

My name is Scott “Skippy” Trahan, and I am honored to stand before you as a candidate for City Council, District 3.

Mamou isn’t just where we live — it’s home. It’s family. It’s tradition. It’s music, culture, hard work, and faith. We are a community built on strong roots and stronger people. We are proud of our past, focused on our future. Built on heritage, driven by progress.

I’m here with a simple message:

Your voice, your city, your councilman.

I’m not running to sit in a chair. I’m running to sit at the table — for you. Because your voice matters, and I’m here to amplify it. Too often, people feel unheard. Too often, concerns go unanswered. That has to change.

And the only way to create change… is to believe in it.

Believe that Mamou can grow while honoring its traditions.
Believe that District 3 deserves attention, accountability, and action.
Believe that when we come together, we can accomplish more than we ever could apart.

Leadership isn’t about titles — it’s about service. It’s about listening, leading, and getting it done. It’s about showing up, doing the work, and following through. I believe in representation you can trust and results you will see.

Here to represent, ready to deliver.

I will listen to your concerns — not just during election season, but every day. I will lead with transparency, integrity, and respect. And I will work tirelessly to ensure that District 3 receives the focus and follow-through it deserves.

We need practical solutions. We need accountability. We need a councilman who understands that progress doesn’t happen by accident — it happens by commitment.

Mamou deserves thoughtful planning, responsible spending, and leadership that keeps our families, our businesses, and our future at the forefront of every decision.

This campaign isn’t about me — it’s about us. It’s about believing that together we can strengthen our neighborhoods, support our local economy, and ensure that our children and grandchildren are proud to call Mamou home.

It is time for a change. And change begins with belief. Belief in ourselves. Belief in our community. Belief that better days are ahead when we work together.

I ask for your trust. I ask for your support. And I ask for your vote.

Because this is your city.
Your future.
Your voice at the table.

I’m Scott “Skippy” Trahan, and I would be honored to serve you as your City Councilman for District 3.

Let’s move forward together — listening, leading, and getting it done.

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless Mamou.
